Beer and cheese? This enticing tradition is being resurrected here in the U.S., at microbreweries and dairies across the country. Some of the classic combinations are simply divine, whilst contemporary pairing of new world beers and cheeses is yielding exciting results.English and American Brown Ales share many characteristics, and both complement this selection of cheeses beautifully. These hand-crafted ales crave textured, robust and complex cheeses, and that's exactly what we've given them. Pete's, Rogue, Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn Brewery all produce popular domestic Brown Ale, whilst from the other side of the pond, Samuel Smiths and of course Newcastle are easily accessible.

Cheshire: One of England's finest, this three month cow's milk cheese has a sweet, caramel-ripe butter smell with notes of straw and a bright acidity - perfect for a nice glass of Brown Ale. (7.5 oz)

Agour Ossau-Iraty: One of our favorite sheep's milk cheeses from the French Pyrenees. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality in the mouth, and the flavors hint at both herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. (7.5 oz)

Extra DOUBLE Aged Gouda: Beemster have created a true masterpiece in their 26 month old gouda, its brittle texture punctured with alternating hints of caramel, butterscotch, whiskey and pecans. (7.5 oz)

We really enjoyed eating these cheeses with our craft beer! It was excellent.

My dad loved it!

Got this for my dad for Father's Day and he loved it. He especially liked the Agour Ossau-Iraty and the Beemster gouda.

Already planning our next purchase!

We made a large purchase because we got tired of paying $25 for a meat & cheese platter at restaurants. While I appreciate restaurants introducing me to some items new & tasty, I often felt that portions were not worth the cost. Well, here comes this pkg from igourmet, and let me tell you, we ordered other items too...Perfect packaging, fast shipping, and some of the tastiest cheeses (hello Agour Ossau-Iraty!!) I have ever gotten to experience. We will definitely be ordering again and again and again.

Happy Anniversary Couple eat good cheese!

This is the second time we have ordered from this company, as the first experience went so well. Sent this pack of cheeses to friends who were celebrating their anniversary. They thought the cheese was great. Only negative comment is that the perishable items were left on the front door step in 90 + degree heat for some hours. The icepack helped.... but it would have been better to leave package with a neighbour.... not to run the risk of spoiling the package too much.

Beer-y good!

The cheeses all went great (as advertised) with rich, hearty beers, but they also were fine with a glass of red wine, and as added to sandwiches and pasta sauces.The Agour Ossau-Iraty in particular was a favorite, with a relative from France saying that it compared favorably to those that he had sampled previously.
